Magie, left, and Minner

For those of you out there wanting instantaneous updates of the recount happening at the Faulkner County Election Commission today, data maestro Brady Shiers will be on the scene and live-tweeting all the hot action in this race for House District 56.

The skinny 10-vote lead incumbent Democrat Steve Magie holds over Republican challenger Trent Minner is plenty exciting by itself. And Shiers’ dispatches will add an extra layer of drama: Twitter is reportedly on autopilot and could crash into the side of a mountain any minute. Shiers plans to ride it out in service to you, spectators of democracy, so follow along.
